Fair enough, you know more than me about the inside story with these guys.

Just thought from their own PR and credibility point of view they'd see the bigger picture?

Cheers

Andy appears to not have the "inside story" as you seem to accept.

Kimmage was already with Sky before the Tour and it was arranged that he would follow them for the Tour. Yet team Sky pulled the deal. So he then requested that he be allowed talk to Michael Barry, Brailsford refused - which seems an odd thing to when you know that your rider has nothing to hide.

Garmin don't seem to have a problem with the a..hole.

Thanks for the background. All seems a bit odd alright. I just thought at this horrendous time for the sport that there are more important things to focus on than trivial personality clashes. Maybe the reluctance has nothing at all to do with such nonsense.

And they haven't fallen out with Greg LeMond too, surely? Thought they'd have been falling over themselves to glad-hand the vindicated hero who's suffered so much, and is now at the vanguard of the "clean war".

Maybe JV's an a$$hole too?

Just wondering if Wiggins, Froome or Brailsford, or anyone else from Team Sky have made any public statements in praise of, and solidarity with, Greg LeMond (surely the ultimate clean-riding poster-boy, now heroically vindicated), and Paul Kimmage?

Sky are aligning these dots through the back door, possibly.

Some time ago someone said if Sky could get endorsed by Lemond it would put some of the suspicion to rest and unfortunately, I agree.
